Sidi Maarouf

Sidi Maarouf combines a Moroccan Menu and Chef  from CasaBlanca with all you can from owner Marouf Abouzaki’s reliable Maroush Chain. Even on Quiet days, a cheesy organ player is on hand, massacaring songs from khaled to fairouz , still this is an amazing place, livlier at weekends when belly dancers shimmy around the tables,  Red brick walls, dark wood and stuuded leather upholstery are softened by glowing lamps and billowing silks, With an extensive Menu of Kemia (Morocca meze) together with tagines, couscous and grills, plus an impressive  list of Lebanese wines, the choice is huge. Light crispy briouts are particularly good. Get the mixed plate and savour eggy minced lamb, prawn and pimento, goats cheese and spinach, and the favourite lemony chicken with ginger. Why not finish off with Fresh Moroccan Mint tea and delicate sweet pastries.

Ranoush Juice

Ranoush, part of the Maroush empire, has been squeezing juice s and churnining Shawarma s for decades. Behind the busy counter where the juice squeezers and Shawarma-makers toil, a modest selection on meze is displayed. Many dishes here like falafel, can also be wrapped in Shami bread – along with pickles and garlici Tahini sauce – to take away. Or you can order your food on a plate, and eat at one of the cafe’s marble topped tables or eat at the counter facing the mirrored wall. The flavour used in Ranoush are big and bold. Batata Hara (Hot Potatoes) contain big chuncks of pepper, and slices of garlic. The falafel are crunchy and spicy and the Taboula has a livley zesty zing, this can all be served with a genrous portion of hot bread. A great place to call in day or night.
